Nah, Trump says it's a Dem hoax.
NY Times: Trump Accuses Media and Democrats of Exaggerating Coronavirus ThreatAt a campaign rally on Friday evening in South Carolina, the president denounced Democrats, describing the concerns they have expressed about the virus as “their new hoax” after the Russia investigation and then impeachment. “Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” he said. “We did one of the great jobs. How’s President Trump doing? They go, ‘Not good.’ They do not have any clue. They cannot even count the votes in Iowa. No, they can’t.” Alex
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov

In part, their claim that he isnt doing much rings a bit hollow
no one is doing much of anything. The venerable city of oakland was highlighted on CBS evening news, proudly showing off the 10 rooms they had allocated to fight this.
The population of oakland 425k. If 10% get this virus 42k and 2.5% kill rate is 1050 people, those folks will need acute care before they pass, those 10 rooms are a joke.
We are screwed if it gets out of hand.

??please explain why it is either a hoax as trump claims or a problem that trump is not addressing
as the dems claim. Address the points made by me about oakland that support either one of those views. I was responding to Alex's thread when I posted. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
